After the men's singles free skating competition ended that day, a simple award ceremony was held in the arena. Su Zhe won his first figure skating championship with a total score of 255.85 points.
After the award ceremony, Su Zhe also officially met Xu Yihe, who had been training in Russia and had just returned to China for this national championship.
Xu Yihe is slightly shorter than Su Zhe, about 173cm tall, which is the standard height for male singles figure skaters in China. He has a delicate appearance, a thin figure, and a bookish look on his face, looking like a good student.
Because he was at the front of the draw, Xu Yihe watched Su Zhe's live performance in the audience area from the short program on the previous day to the free skating on this day. When he saw Su Zhe at this time, he was quite dazzled.
"Hello, I watched your competition these past two days. Your artistic performance on the show was excellent. Can I know what method you used when performing? Your performance was very immersive, so it is definitely not expressionism. So are you a very successful methodist or experientialist?
If you are a methodist, do you have any specific experience you can share?
As for the experiential school, I have a few questions that I don’t understand. From yesterday’s breeze and branches to today’s angels and demons, how do you feel the emotions and states that these characters should have, and how do you get into the characters?
…
…………
???
Xu Yihe looked calm and quiet on the outside, but Su Zhe never expected that he would open his mouth with such a string of confusing questions.
Wang Wei, who was standing next to the two men, showed a look of despair after seeing Xu Yihe's question.
"Hey, He'er, how come you're still like this after being in Maozi for two months?"
Xu Yihe was very calm and didn't mind Wang Wei's words. Instead, he said objectively: "No matter where I go, I will still be the same as I was before."
"..." Wang Wei opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, so he threw down his fist and said, "Ah, okay."
The conversation between the three after receiving the awards can be regarded as a formal acquaintance. Xu Yihe is just as he appears to be, a calm academic. In figure skating, he is good at applying various theories to build a foundation for himself, and he attaches great importance to theory first in his personal training.
Whether in training or program arrangement, Xu Yihe has very high requirements for theory. Sometimes this pursuit of theory even reaches a certain level of obsession, which gives his coach and choreographer Elisa and others a headache.
The doubts he had after meeting Su Zhe were also the questions he had been thinking about while watching the game in the past two days.
His personal artistic performance in the domestic men's singles skating event was originally characterized by personal artistic expression, but his artistic presentation was more of a personal expression obtained through theoretical learning and various observations and reflections. Although he is indeed better than many men's singles skaters, he has been facing a bottleneck for a long time and has found it difficult to improve.
This is why he went to Russia to study. He needed to absorb more extensive foreign experience to supplement his knowledge base, enhance his artistic expression, and break through the bottleneck as soon as possible.
When he returned to China, Su Zhe's first appearance on the ice gave him a great psychological shock. There was obviously a big gap between Su Zhe's artistic expression and his.
He asked questions directly to Su Zhe because he was eager to break through his current bottleneck. Even if he could not reach Su Zhe's level after breaking through the bottleneck, at least he saw hope in Su Zhe to break through his current bottleneck.
After a brief moment of daze, Su Zhe reacted quickly. Xu Yihe's character reminded him of the coaches in the track and field team who were devoted to studying data and various scientific training methods. He had a favorable impression of them.
Regarding expressiveness and artistic presentation, they were once a big problem for him. However, after experiencing his previous life and extracting countless weird courses from the sand sculpture system, he did organize some related training methods.
After they met up with coaches Cui Yi, Wang Hongming and others, on the way back to the hotel, Su Zhe discussed with Xu Yihe the training methods for artistic expression and other aspects. Although these training methods were not systematic enough, they were very good inspirations for Xu Yihe.
During the discussion, Xu Yihe's eyes became brighter and brighter. Cui Yi, Wang Hongming and others who were also on the minibus also understood something about the topic the two were discussing.
In the end, the discussion evolved from a chat between Su Zhe and Xu Yihe to a topic joined by the national team coaching staff in the car. Even when they arrived at the hotel, the discussion had not yet been completely concluded. Cui Yi even directly stated that after returning to the national team's winter training base in City B, everyone could have another meeting to discuss the feasibility of some training content.
After this discussion, Xu Yihe and Su Zhe became more familiar with each other. It was not until this moment that Su Zhe remembered that he seemed to have heard Xu Yihe's name in the news in his previous life. At that time, Xu Yihe was already the coach of the national figure skating team and seemed to have trained some successful athletes.
Of course, this problem was not what Su Zhe needed to consider now. After returning to the hotel, Cui Yi asked Su Zhe with a smile if he had forgotten something.
Su Zhe looked at Cui Yi with some confusion, not understanding what he had forgotten.
Cui Yi rubbed his forehead and sighed, "Why didn't I see that you were such a fool? Tomorrow is the exhibition skating stage of the competition. As the champion of men's singles skating, you must have a program, but during this period we have been focusing on the choreography and practice of your short program and free skating program. So far, have you practiced anything that can be used as a program in the exhibition skating?"
…
…………
???
Cui Yi's words made Su Zhe hesitate.
After today's competition, he originally thought that he should return to City B to continue training. Cui Yi's words were really a heavy blow to him.
Seeing Su Zhe's suddenly stiff expression, Cui Yi rolled his eyes - he knew that his disciple would completely forget about the performance skating.
"I asked Aina to pick out a few songs and send them to you. Go back and check WeChat to get them and listen to them yourself to get a feel for them."
"?" Su Zhe was a little confused: "Ah? I'm not prepared at all. Do I really have to go tomorrow?"
Cui Yi sighed: "After this lesson, just remember to remember this next time. Exhibition skating is more casual, there are no choreography requirements, if you have the ability, you can do 10 consecutive jumps on the ice. There are also athletes who try to choreograph on the spot without preparation beforehand and then perform on stage. Just give it your free hand in this performance."
Having said that, Cui Yi said goodbye to Su Zhe and ignored his disciple - he and Eliza and others had actually considered this performance skating in advance, but he stopped Eliza before she wanted to discuss the performance repertoire with Su Zhe.
He and Eliza had discussed that based on Suzhe's almost instinctive performance, as long as he got on the ice, he would be able to slide down smoothly and harmoniously. The difference was probably the difference between the finished product that had been carefully choreographed and polished and his instinctive performance.
They also wanted to use this performance skating where they didn't have to worry about grades to see how well Su Zhe could handle stress and adapt to unexpected situations that required him to choreograph content on the spot.
When Su Zhe received several alternative songs from Aina, he also saw a message from Shao Xingchen on WeChat.
Shao Xingchen: [I saw the comments about your performance on the Internet. It was great.]
Su Zhe glanced at the WeChat message and read a hint of melancholy from it, so he thought about it and typed a string of text in the message box.
Su Zhe: [^^ So you only read the reviews and didn’t see the performance video? ]
On the other side, the message from Shao Xingchen came back quickly.
Shao Xingchen: [……]
Shao Xingchen: [You are right.]
Su Zhe was having a headache thinking about the performance skating the next day, so he stopped teasing Shao Xingchen.
[It's okay, you can always see it later. ]
Shao Xingchen on the other side was silent for a moment, then replied: [That's different, this is your first match.]
Su Zhe was chatting idly with Shao Xingchen, looking at the boss who sounded a bit resentful in the WeChat chat history, and clicked on the alternative songs that Anna had selected for him.
The selection of these songs is much more random than that of the short program and free skating. The only thing they have in common is that the music has distinct personality characteristics, ranging from classic martial arts scores to soft and elegant Chinese classics, as well as soundtracks of interstellar movies and popular songs that are currently popular. They are varied, but all have independent themes.
After listening to all the songs, Su Zhe suddenly turned his gaze to the chat window with Shao Xingchen.
[The name of your movie this time is Poetry? ]
After receiving a positive answer, Su Zhe made a straightforward choice: [^^ I decided to choose this one. 】
The next day, after Su Zhe selected the repertoire for his exhibition skating, he submitted it to Cui Yi. In the system training space the day before, after completing the training course arranged for him by the sand sculpture system, he also took the time to make a simple choreography in the space.
The only problem now is that there are no suitable performance costumes for the repertoire that was decided on at the last minute. However, the performance costume in Breeze is relatively neutral, so I can wear it directly for the performance.
While Su Zhe was having a headache over his performance skating, his short program and free skating programs from the previous two days had been lingering on the Internet for 1-2 days and entered a new discussion zone.
Especially the "Fallen Watcher" the day before, with such a gorgeous configuration of angels and demons, coupled with his stunning presentation, in just one night, a large number of Narcissus mashups appeared on the Internet. Coupled with his previous stage solos and short program performances, it is almost like he alone can support a multi-role drama of past and present lives or competition.
The Narcissus super topic, originally named [Zhe], quickly attracted a large number of fans after yesterday's "Fallen Watcher". They shouted loudly in the super topic that [Susu & Zhezhe are real]. The Narcissus cpfs between different characters can even battle with each other and discuss which two characters are more compatible.
Of course, at present, solo Zhe and Breeze Zhe are tied together, and the relationship between the Archangel and the Devil Lucifer is also locked. Both pairs of cps have a lot of support, and everyone is harmonious in the super chat.
In both the Zhe and Suzhe super chats, there are a large number of fans looking forward to Suzhe's performance in the exhibition skating today. Although most of them are still novices in figure skating, this does not prevent them from appreciating Suzhe's beauty on the ice.
The fans who had lost interest due to Su Zhe's withdrawal from the competition have started to return in the past few days. These returning fans have begun to focus more on Su Zhe alone, and are not worried about whether Su Zhe will continue to stay in the entertainment industry. Instead, they have happily begun to learn about figure skating, understand figure skating competitions, and consider how to support Su Zhe in competitions.
In the forum of the Kingdom of Ice and Snow, ice fans are also looking forward to Su Zhe's exhibition skating today. After all, the performances Su Zhe brought in the short program and free skating in the previous two days were classics. In today's exhibition skating, whether he performs the short program "Breeze" again or comes up with a new performance, it will be able to satisfy the ice fans.
At around 10 am, someone in the forum posted a post with a hahaha.
Subject: [An insider revealed that Su Zhe had never prepared a performance piece, and was tricked by Coach Cui into arranging one on the spot.]
Content: [Absolutely true first-hand revelations! I laughed my ass off. It is said that although Su Zhe is a top-notch figure skating skill, no one has ever taught him about the various rules and traditions of figure skating, resulting in his very superficial understanding of many figure skating traditions.
Coach Cui did not tell him that he could directly perform a short program that he had already performed in the exhibition skate. Instead, he tricked him into choosing a new piece of music and arranged it temporarily.
It is reported that Su Zhe has already selected his repertoire, and he is currently thinking about the arrangement and performance of the entire repertoire. We can look forward to what kind of wonderful performance he will give us during the afternoon performance! 】
1l: […? ? ? How can it be like this? Poor kid, Coach Cui is almost fooling him. Coach Cui has a really dirty heart… But I like him =w=]
3l: [Hahahahahahaha, oh my god, this is too tragic. Let me make a blind guess. Did Su Zhe really like figure skating when he was a kid, but his family wouldn't let him practice? Then he met an awesome coach who only taught him the techniques but not the common sense of figure skating?]
5l: [Friend in front, what kind of martial arts setting is this? But this is really funny. I believe Su Zhe really lacked common sense about figure skating in the past. He was deceived so badly~~]
13l: [=w=Everyone should cherish this performance of Su Zhe. The child is still young and easy to deceive. When he grows up, he will not have such a benefit as today. ]
The ice fans in this building were laughing and saying how badly Suzhe had been deceived, while at the same time they were looking forward to what kind of performance Suzhe would give in the afternoon's exhibition skating.
Just like what the ice fans on 13l said, if Su Zhe could be fooled once, could he be fooled a second time?
Well, as a human being, we should cherish the present!
While domestic ice fans were paying attention to the afternoon exhibition skating, Su Zhe's short program "Breeze Blows" and free skating "Fallen Watcher" were posted on Japanese Twitter and figure skating discussion boards by international students from Japan.
This Sakura international school girl from Japan is also a figure skating enthusiast.
In the event of figure skating, China, Japan and South Korea are considered to be the three kingdoms. China's pair skating is the best among all, while Japan's men's singles and South Korea's women's singles also dominate in their respective fields.
This overseas student Sakura is a loyal supporter of both men's and women's singles events. She usually pays more attention to men's singles players from Japan and the United States, and women's singles players from South Korea and Russia, but does not pay much attention to Chinese players.
But she is studying in China after all, and of course she uses China's Weibo like her classmates. With the hot searches in the past two days and the reposts by a large number of figure skating bloggers, Su Zhe's short program and free skating performance videos were also forwarded to her homepage. After seeing the two songs "Breeze Blowing" and "Fallen Watcher", she clicked on the video with a hint of doubt, and then covered her mouth throughout the performance on her mobile phone.
Then, with excitement, she immediately turned on her computer and watched Su Zhe's two programs again on a larger screen. Then, without hesitation, she opened Twitter and Japan's most famous figure skating discussion board and posted the videos of Su Zhe's two performances.
When publishing the relevant copy, this Sakura girl used all kinds of words that best reflected her own feelings to praise Suzhe's performance.
Michiko in China: [#FigureSkating#Everyone, please come and see him! I have been completely struck by him. If I miss such beauty, I will regret it for the rest of my life! Please believe me, I have found the God on ice! ]
Such an introduction seemed exaggerated even on the Japanese Internet. Many people clicked on the video with a critical heart, and then sank into the hands of the figure in the video.
In that gorgeous ice world, his mere existence created an independent world, whether it was the gentle breeze, the archangel from God, or the evil devil from hell.
He is independent of this world, making people feel as if he is just a dream and dare not disturb him.
Are there really people in this world who seem to be born for the beauty of the ice?
Along with the exclamations of countless Japanese netizens, the figure skating video of Su Zhe also began to spread rapidly on the Japanese Internet.
The author has something to say: qaq screamed, why, I flipped over again, wow wow wow, life is really too hard
There is no time to say anything else. Cai Cai has to go to the company to take an exam on Sunday. I will update it later. See you tomorrow night (Sunday night)!
